As the world enters the sacred season of Hanukkah and Christmas—both celebrations of light—a disturbing pattern of global violence has surfaced, leading prophetic voice Amanda Grace to sound the alarm about the spiritual forces driving it.

“What has unfolded over the past week has been nothing short of a 9-1-1 ambush globally,” Grace warned, pointing to a string of terror-related incidents that occurred between Dec. 7 and Dec. 14, a window she says the Lord had highlighted explicitly in advance.

At the center of this warning is a biblical contrast between light and darkness. “Hanukkah is the festival of lights, and Christmas celebrates Christ, the Light of the World,” she explained. “This is why the enemy hates it so much.”

Quoting John 10:10, she reminded listeners of the spiritual battle behind the headlines: “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and life more abundantly.” She emphasized that God’s order—established in Genesis—requires darkness to give way to light. “Darkness has to submit and buckle to the light. That is God’s sacred order of time.”

Yet during this specific December window, she believes the kingdom of darkness attempted to reverse that order.

A Pattern of Attacks

On Dec. 12, German authorities arrested five men accused of plotting to drive a vehicle into a Christmas market. The following day, a deadly shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, killing two people and injuring nine. Then on December 14, a mass terror attack during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, left 15 people dead.

“These are not random acts of violence,” Grace insisted. “Demons are diligent. They are strategic. They are persistent. And they are predatory.”

She pointed to what she described as recurring “watermarks” of darkness embedded within the events—timings, numbers, locations and symbolic targets—that reveal intentional coordination rather than coincidence.

Regarding the Brown University shooting, she noted that the final emergency alert was retracted at 6:10 p.m. and that the shooter entered Room 166. “When the kingdom of darkness goes to take prey, it leaves a watermark,” she said, asserting that such details reflect “the spirit of lawlessness and antichrist at work.”

She also highlighted that the classroom targeted was reportedly associated with a Jewish professor and that one of the victims, Ella Cook, was a leader in the only conservative student group on campus. The attack occurred just one day before the start of Hanukkah.

“This was highly intentional,” Grace said.

Australia and a Broader Warning

The attack in Australia, which authorities have linked to Islamist extremism, unfolded in six minutes and was the deadliest mass shooting in the country since 1996. “Six minutes. Fifteen dead—one plus five is six. 1996. Six. Six. Six,” she said. “The enemy always signs his work. He’s too prideful not to.”

She also cited previous prophetic words given in 2024 and July 2025, warning of an attack in Australia “from within,” calling the Bondi Beach massacre a “red herring to a greater attack” unless leaders humble themselves before God.

“These attacks are being used to power altars in the spirit in order to open gates to go after high leadership in nations,” she warned.

A Call to the Church

Beyond geopolitics, Grace’s message carried a sobering exhortation to believers. “We are the salt and the light. We are the Ecclesia,” she said. “And the kingdom of darkness wants to eclipse the light right now.”

She urged the church to rise as watchmen, discerning the times and responding through prayer and spiritual authority. “You cannot fight an enemy you refuse to recognize,” she cautioned. “Ignoring it will not make it go away.”

Drawing from Acts, she reminded listeners that prayer changes outcomes. “The Church interceded for Peter, and an angel broke him out of prison,” she said. “That is the power the Church has through Christ.”

As the season celebrates the Light of the World, Grace was clear: the battle is intensifying—but darkness does not win.

“Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords,” she declared. “And light will always overcome the darkness.”

Does God give us personal prophetic warnings?

Evangelist Perry Stone recently shared a powerful message about how God speaks to His people through prophetic warnings. Emphasizing the importance of spiritual sensitivity, Stone said, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,” quoting Revelation 19:10.

Below are the five signs Stone points out to help you discern whether or not the Lord is giving you a prophetic warning.

1. One common sign of a prophetic warning is an unexplained heaviness or oppressive feeling. Stone described, “Have you ever had a day when you get out of bed, and nothing bad has happened…and the entire day you feel heavy?”

He explained that such feelings can signal that something troubling is approaching and should prompt immediate prayer and discernment. In one personal testimony, Stone shared how this kind of burden helped protect his young daughter from serious injury: “Prayer may have preserved her life.”

2. Dreams are another key avenue through which God communicates warnings. Stone stressed the importance of biblical symbolism in interpreting these dreams: “If it’s a dream that comes from God, it will have biblical symbolism…you can interpret it by biblical symbolism.”

He recounted a former bookkeeper’s dream in which snakes represented attacks against her work, illustrating how God can use visions to reveal spiritual realities that are not immediately apparent.

3. Stone pointed out the critical role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers. “You never should override…when you feel like He’s giving you a warning,” he said.

He shared a personal example of a simple, everyday decision—taking a drive in a convertible—that he changed because the Spirit impressed him not to go, thereby avoiding potential danger.

4. Another practical step he encourages is recording warnings and dreams. Many times, the significance of a warning is not immediately apparent, but keeping a journal allows for reflection as circumstances unfold. “You should keep a record of what people warn you about…so that when things begin to take place, you will have a recall,” he said.

5. Finally, Stone reminds believers to discern true prophetic insight from manipulation or fear: “Be sure it’s the Holy Spirit speaking…not people who are using the gift of suspicion or manipulation to influence you.”

By staying sensitive to inner burdens, paying attention to dreams with biblical symbolism, praying through impressions and obeying the Holy Spirit, believers can navigate life with discernment and faith, responding to God’s prophetic guidance with wisdom and action.

Both Erika Kirk and Candace Owens gave updates following their high-stakes private discussion.

After Erika Kirk and Candace Owens met in private to talk about the conspiracy theories Owens has been sparking across social media regarding the death of Charlie Kirk, both provided hopeful updates online.

On X, Erika Kirk wrote: “Had a very productive conversation with @RealCandaceO. More to come from both of us. Looking forward to AmFest this week. Time to get back to work.”

In a YouTube video, Owens said, “Four-and-a-half hours later, I’m alive…very productive conversation. I asked every single question. I mean, from Egyptian planes to Turning Point USA Faith, and I was very surprised by some of the answers that I got, and I think they were also very surprised by shared certain intel…this probably should have happened a very long time ago.”

Owens further stated it was a “very big step in the right direction.” She also posted to X where she said that “We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent.”

Erika and I had an extremely productive 4 1/2 hour meeting that I think we both feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did.
We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able…

After months of heated tension between the two parties, this perhaps may be a sign of change coming. Only time will tell what happens next regarding the relationship between Turning Point USA and Candace Owens.

Famous film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were tragically killed in a homicide. Now, their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested as a murder suspect in the case of his parents.

In a report by Fox News, images from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) show Nick Reiner in handcuffs and detained by a police officer. He will appear in court on Tuesday morning.

The LAPD stated how Rob and Michele were discovered, saying: “On Dec. 14, 2025, around 3:40 p.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers assigned to West Los Angeles Division responded to a call of a death investigation…officers discovered two victims, who were subsequently identified as Robert and Michele Reiner…The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible for their deaths.”

Fox noted that friends of the Reiners stated that Rob and Nick argued with one another during a Christmas party at Conan O’Brien’s the night before Rob and Michele were killed.

According to People, Rob and Nick co-wrote the film “Being Charlie,” which focused on a teenager battling addiction, something that Nick Reiner reportedly battled with for years, landing him in rehab on 18 different occasions.

Rob and Michele Reiner died from stab wounds. As of right now, Nick Reiner is being held without bail.

Prayer is not just a spiritual routine—it’s an invitation to partner with God and witness breakthroughs that defy human expectation. In a recent prophetic message, Bethel senior pastor Bill Johnson shared how he believes prayer will be the catalyst God uses to do the miraculous over the course of the next year.

“I feel like the next 12 months are supposed to be the most extreme and extravagant breakthroughs we’ve ever seen in prayer,” Johnson declared. These breakthroughs will not be the result of our intelligence or effort, but of our ability to discern God’s heartbeat and align our prayers with His will. “There are things that have yet to happen that are going to happen—not because we are so intelligent, not because of anything except that we’ve learned to hear His heart,” he said.

Johnson highlights how prayer is a collaboration with the Lord, not a checklist. Johnson referenced John Wesley, saying, “Prayer is unbelievably important. God does nothing in the affairs of man except in answer to prayer.” Even the arrival of the Messiah was preceded by centuries of intercession, showing that God’s work often requires human engagement before His glory can be released.

Johnson also pointed out that sometimes, it’s not more prayer that’s needed—it’s prayer done differently. “Sometimes we’ve been asking God to do something He told us to do, and we finally realize, actually, I need to speak to the mountain myself instead of asking God to remove the mountain,” he explained. Prayer, when combined with action and faith, activates God’s authority on earth and releases His power.

Corporate prayer amplifies this effect, as Johnson demonstrated with a powerful call to action. He led the congregation in praying for financial breakthroughs, reconciliation and healing, encouraging them to declare, “I receive the healing that Jesus bought for me.” The atmosphere of faith and expectation invites the Holy Spirit to move in tangible ways, turning embryonic answers into full-blown miracles.

According to Johnson, the next 12 months are a time to embrace faith, courage and the supernatural. “I keep coming back to this feeling like it’s time. It’s time—His time,” Johnson said. God is ready to release favor, reconciliation and healing in ways we’ve never seen before. Answers to prayer don’t just solve problems—they manifest God’s glory, transform communities and draw people into His Kingdom.

This season is a call to step into prayer with boldness and expectation, knowing that every answered prayer releases God’s presence. The next 12 months may very well be the most extraordinary season of your life yet. All that is required is the faith to see God move in 2026.

Are you prepared for what’s coming in 2026?

As the nation barrels toward unprecedented technological expansion, media host Glenn Beck is sounding an alarm he believes America cannot afford to ignore. During a recent broadcast, Beck warned that the country is on the verge of a catastrophic energy crisis—one that he says is already beginning to unfold.

From the outset, Beck underscored that the push for solar energy—particularly in rural regions—is not the solution politicians claim it to be. One caller from upstate New York described the state’s aggressive solar farm expansion as “a land grab to take our best farmland,” even encroaching on state-designated protected grasslands. Beck agreed, saying plainly: “The solar thing does not work.”

But the deeper issue, Beck argues, is not solar—it is America’s rapidly expanding energy demand, especially from AI and data centers. And that, he says, is about to push the country into a crisis.

On his recent prediction special, Beck stated, “I think 2026 is going to be the first year that we see things like Texas having rolling brownouts for a week at a time.” He warned that by the end of 2025 and into 2026, the American power grid will face pressures the public has never seen in modern history. “You’re going to start to see the strain on the grid in ways that you would never have expected in the United States.”

Just days after recording that prediction, Beck says new data confirmed his fears. According to figures he cites from the Associated Press, the load demand on the Texas energy grid jumped from 63 gigawatts in December 2024 to more than 230 gigawatts just one year later. More than 70% of that surge comes from data centers powering artificial intelligence.

“The grids are already at the breaking point,” Beck warned. “They’re old. They’re brittle. They’re not prepared for what we have to do.”

He noted that even with efforts to fast-track nuclear power plants, America will not be able to build them fast enough to keep up with demand—especially when data centers require enormous power that cannot simply be fed through aging grid lines.

Beck believes this looming crisis will become the “Achilles’ heel” of the current administration as well as any future Democratic administration. But beyond politics, he sees it as part of a larger societal shaking that will stretch into the next several years.

“The world is going to change in such profound ways between now and 2028,” Beck said. He emphasized that believers must prepare spiritually for upheaval, not just practically or financially. “Forget your money, forget everything else. You have to be spiritually in tune… You have to be rock solid in who you are, what it means to be human, what it means to be alive.”

His final message was urgent—part warning, part plea.

“Warning, it’s coming. Please, please pay attention to those things that are meaningful.”

Hanukkah is often celebrated as a festival of lights, a commemoration of the rededication of the temple on the Temple Mount. Yet, according to Jonathan Cahn, the mystery of Hanukkah reaches far beyond its historical context—it points to spiritual realities and prophetic patterns that echo into the end times.

“The war against Israel was fought in the name of Palestine,” Cahn explained, linking the 2023 October 7 attack to a timeline that stretches back thousands of years. He noted that the date of the attack was far from coincidental. “That was the last day of Tabernacles, the very last day of the Hebrew feast,” he said. In ancient times, Hanukkah itself commemorated eight days not because of the oil miracle, as commonly believed, but because of the connection to the Feast of Tabernacles.

Central to Hanukkah, Cahn emphasized, is the Temple Mount, a site that has long symbolized the spiritual battle for Israel. “The events of Hanukkah, more than any place, focus on one site—the Temple Mount,” he said. Cahn noted that both ancient desecrations, including the Greeks placing idols of Zeus, and modern conflicts, like the October 7 attack, are part of a continuing struggle over this sacred location. “Even here what happened on October 7th is linked to the Temple Mount,” he explained, connecting historical events, prophecy, and present-day warfare in Israel.

Hanukkah, Cahn emphasized, is ultimately about light triumphing over darkness—both spiritually and historically. “You are the temple of God. And when you’re totally given to God, you light up. You’re radiant. That’s what God wants,” he said. This illumination is not only symbolic of God’s presence in the temple but also within each believer. The festival’s rededication story, he explained, mirrors the ongoing call for personal and national consecration, a reclaiming of holiness after desecration.

Cahn traced the roots of modern conflict to ancient history, detailing how the enemies of Israel sought to erase its identity. He explained that the Romans, after crushing Jewish revolts, renamed the land, effectively dedicating the city to Zeus. “They were even planning to build a temple of Zeus on the Temple Mount,” he said, connecting these ancient acts of desecration with contemporary struggles over the same sacred site.

Linking the spiritual and the prophetic, Cahn drew a parallel between the ongoing conflict and the cosmic struggle described in Revelation 12: “A great red dragon…stood before the woman who was about to give birth, that when she gave birth, he might devour her child.” Here, Israel is the woman, and the dragon represents Satan’s continuous opposition against God’s purposes. This, Cahn argued, is the same pattern repeated in human history—from attempts to destroy the Hebrew babies in Moses’ day to the attack on October 7.

For believers, the message is both urgent and personal. Cahn reminded his audience, “The enemy is a preemptor. He attacks specifically what God is going to do…If you’re in God’s will and he’s going crazy, it’s a sign of the timing. God is going to do something great.” The attacks on Israel, he said, mirror spiritual attacks on individual believers—a test and a confirmation that God’s purposes are at work.

Hanukkah, therefore, is not just a historical celebration. It is a prophetic reminder that light shines brightest in darkness, that God’s purposes cannot be thwarted and that the ultimate redemption, through Messiah, is coming.

As Cahn said, “Even when it’s the darkest time, you still got a light shining. And in the center of your being…he’s got to reign from the heart.”

As tensions continue to rise between Candace Owens and Turning Point USA in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Erika Kirk and Owens are set to speak to each other in private.

After The Charlie Kirk Show invited Owens to do a livestream to discuss the different conspiracy theories Owens has pushed regarding Kirk’s death, Owens and Erika Kirk have now agreed to first meet without the cameras rolling in front of them.

In a post on X, Kirk wrote, “Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15. @RealCandaceO and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting. I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you.”

Previously, Blake Neff publicly invited Owens onto The Charlie Kirk Show with an official statement from the Turning Point USA team, stating, “…Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA, people at Turning Point Action, and people who work for this show. She has made them against some of Charlie’s closest friends, and against some of his most dedicated employees… “In the near future, there will be a live stream here in Phoenix where we address in a clear and comprehensive way the claims and accusations, the false accusations that have been made against Charlie’s family, friends and the people here at Turning Point. We plan to walk through everything carefully and thoroughly. If Candace is available, we would sincerely welcome her participation in that live stream at our studio here in Phoenix.”

Owens responded by stating, “I accept it with whistles and bells—everything I fully accept. I say, let’s do it tomorrow. Let’s do it tomorrow.”

We are approaching the final days before 3I/ATLAS gets closes to Earth.

According to a report by ABC News, the mysterious space object will “pass within 167 million miles” of Earth on Friday, which is the peak point that it will near our world. The outlet also notes how NASA is currently estimating the comet to be in the measurement sizes between 1,444 feet and 3.5 miles.

This interstellar object, which has kept everyone talking for months, will be “much closer to Jupiter in March,” as ABC stated, and will not find its way back out to interstellar space until the mid-2030s.

Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who has been heavily invested in the appearance of the interstellar object, discussed in a recent post on Medium that the “anti-tail” of 3I/ATLAS is currently still in place. Loeb writes that it is “not a perspective effect,” but rather this is a “real physical jet, with a glow extending from 3I/ATLAS towards the Sun.”

Loeb also recently noted that one of the recent “post-perihelion” photos of the unique space object showed colors of “blue, green, orange and red” with “its peak brightness on the nucleus 3I/ATLAS” and “The color of the glowing halo appear[ing] green.”

As 3I/ATLAS makes its closest approach, we are reminded that the heavens themselves declare the glory of God. While scientists marvel at its size, trajectory and brilliant colors, the true purpose of keeping our eyes on the skies is to lift our hearts higher—to Jesus, the One who holds the universe in His hands. The heavens may awe us, but it is Jesus who guides us, and it is in keeping our eyes on Him that we find direction, hope and peace in the final days.

King Charles has given a major update concerning his cancer battle.

In a video posted on YouTube by The Royal Family and Channel 4, King Charles provided an update on his cancer diagnosis and offered encouragement to others facing the health issue for the 2025 Stand Up to Cancer campaign.

“Today, I am able to share with you the good news that, thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctor’s orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year,” Charles stated.

“This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years,” he continued.

Charles then noted that compassion in the middle of a struggle often makes a difference in the world around us.

“As I have observed before, the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion. But compassion must be paired with action. This December, as we gather to reflect on the year past, I pray that we could each pledge as part of our resolutions for the year ahead to play our part in helping to catch cancer early,” he said. “Your life or the life of someone you love may depend upon it. Therefore, this brings my most heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, researchers and charity workers involved in diagnosis and treatment programs, together with my particular good wishes to those for whom they care so selflessly.”

The king also asked for people to join him “in finding a special place in your hearts and your minds and prayers for the hundreds of thousands of people across our United Kingdom who receive a cancer diagnosis each year…”

This latest update comes after Charles was diagnosed with cancer in 2024.
